These canvas tags work wonderfully with the large background stamps from Market Street Stamps. I chose to only stamp it once (so it covers the large base area of the tag and leaves an empty space at the top). If you don't like that look, you can stamp it twice for full coverage (or use one of the mini canvas shapes for full coverage in one impression).

When stamping on canvas you should realize that there are most likely going to be imperfections in the stamping. I think this adds character - but if you can't handle imperfections in your stamping then you can just give this a whirl on a paper tag. ;o)

Next we will give the tag an ombré effect with various mists. For this project I suggest choosing light colored mists in a similar color family/palette. I've chosen three fall-friendly mists that will blend well into each other.

Tip: Always mist on a protected surface. You will have overspray...so unless you want that counter or table misted, cover it up with something like scrap cardboard.

Stamp the beautiful feather from the new Wild Market Mini with a dark ink. (I'm using a permanent black ink.)

Stamp it several times varying the positioning. I've grouped it into two clusters, but I also think this would look great randomly stamped all over the entire tag.

When stamping off the edge of the tag, be sure you are protecting your stamping surface...although I can't deny that a feather stamped desk might just be beautiful. :o)

Finish off your tag with some twine, ribbon, or other embellishments.

This tag would be great to tie onto a big fall gift basket and I also think it would be lovely to create two of these and use them for mini album covers.

Gotta try this!

This card is created with the Quatrefoil Background I designed. (That design was a customer request, by the way - if you'd love to see something in particular from Unity Stamp Company let me know in your comment and I will see what I can do!) I love that this beautiful pattern can stand on its own and make a beautifully simple card when paired with a sentiment stamped in black.

I am back again today with a simple card - just cardstock, ink, and stamps. (I made a few of these using different colors to create a quick and easy card set.)
The houndstooth arrows/chevron is an image I created for the cre-ate - SMAK (July 2012) kit and I topped it off with a sentiment from Sentiments O'Simple.
I think this design can work with a variety of sentiments, but I loved the way this particular sentiment tied in with the "open boundaries" created by the arrows.

This card uses the same basic idea and misting technique as yesterday's card...I just changed up the sentiment (this one is from the All Worth It stamp set) and added a bit of burlap string to finish it off.

Today's card is again using basic supplies - cardstock, ink, and stamps...and I've added in a bit of misting as well.
To get this effect I die cut some cardstock with various butterfly shapes, laid those over my card base and misted with a few different colors.
I love this big sentiment from the Love Life stamp set. It is fabulously sized to make a BIG impression on a card...and I think it would also be great for those of you who scrapbook.

This week I am focusing on creating cards with minimal supplies - they will be simple to create, easy to produce in large quantities, and flat for easy mailing.

These cards were created using two leaf stamps I created for the COLOR of the Seasons - KOM (August 2012) - one stamped randomly in black ink and the other stamped in a single color of ink. (I created more with different colored leaves that aren't shown here.) Simply choose one of Unity Stamp Company's unique sentiments to top it all off and you can easily create a card set in a short amount of time.

As a card maker, of course I am fully behind a holiday celebrating card making.Sadly, it seems that every year I have had previous obligations to be outside my home and have been unable to actually make a card on World Card Making Day.

This year is no different as I might actually be "homeless" on World Card Making Day - as I am typing this we are preparing to make our way across the country to our new town, but our belongings may not arrive for another few days after we arrive. Still, I wanted to join in on the fun by making this "Hello" card.

As you read this I (Tifany) am probably in the middle of hearing a repeat chorus of "Are we there yet?"
Our family is moving across the country (something like 2500 miles - yikes!), and we expect for it to take 4 (or quite possibly 5) days for the entire trip.

To prepare for the trip, I knew I wanted to have something that would be new and exciting for our three kids, but something that would not wear out its fun-ness after a day or two.
In order to do this, I've decided to start each new day with a little something...topped off with The Twinery's twine.

I've chosen two colors of twine for each of our three kids (Pink Sorbet and Lilac for our 8 year old daughter, Peapod and Charcoal for our 6 year old son, and Mandarin and Denim for our 3 year old son).

I used the twine to tie a day tag on each day's surprise - inside are simple things like stickers, activity books, and new chapter books for my two readers.

I have a feeling that these day bags are going to be a great hit on the trip...hopefully it will keep us all sane until we get there. :o)
